INSTRUMENT FOR THE APPLICATION OF SHAVING CREAM OR THE LIKE.

Application filed June 9, 1924. Serial No. 718,824.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RICHARB- CRAMP, of

' London, England, a subject of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, have invented certain new and useful Instruments for the Application of Shaving Cream or the like,-

. application of shaving cream to the skin.

A device or instrument. made in accordance withthis invention comprises a casing adapted to be screwed on to the neck of a collapsible tube or other similar container. A roller provided with a spindle carried on a bearing wheel which is elongated to permit of transverse movement, the roller projecting from the face of the casing.

Referring to the drawings filed herewith Fig. 1 is an end sectional elevation of one, form of device made in accordance with this invention.-

Fig. 2 is a side view of the device.

In Fig. 1, 1 is a roller fitted with pivots 2 and 2 which are free to rotate in the elonrated holes 3 and 3, formed in the side plates a and 4 of the casingf), the said casing being provided with an inlet (3 which is suitably threaded soas to be screwed on to the tube of cream 7; to operate the device the tube 7 is compressed whereby the cream it contains will be ejected into the casin 5,

automatically pressing the roller 1 upwards which is thus scraped from the periphery of the roller 1 by the lip t). An upward movement of the device will cause the roller 1 to revolve in an anticlockwise direction,

and in so doing the roller 1 acting along the .i

elongated slots 3 and 3 will cause the periphery ot the said rollerto be in close proximity with the lip 9 as shown dotted, Fig. 1. The cream will then be protruded through the a peraure between the roller 1 and the lip 9, a continuous upward and downward movement of the device will cause the said roller to revolve, clockwise, and anticlockwise, whipping the cream into a suitable consisteney smearing automatically the periphery of the said roller and causing the cream to be applied and spread in a thin film like consistency. To replenish the easing 5 the tube 7 is again squeezed, and the cycle of operation repeated until sul'iicient cream is applied.

WVhat I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:-

A device for the application of shaving cream comprising a casing, a slotted bearing in the casing, means for attaching the easmg to a collapsible tube, said casing having a passage communicating withthe tube, a 5

roller provided with trunnions adapted to bear in said slotted bearings, said roller projecting from the face of the casing and adapted to alternately bear against the upper and lower edges of the slot so as to permit the said edges scraping the cream from the periphery of the said roller and alternately leaving a space between the opposite edge of the casing and said roller through which the shaving cream may be ejected to spread on to the periphery of the said roller according to the direction in which the roller is moved over the skin.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature.

RICHARD CRAMP.
